QUESTION:
Gensis was created of God for seven day on earth and heaven etc but not appeared to create in Hell fire. When and how did God create in Hellfire ? Please teach me for explantion.

ANSWER:
Thank you for your question. Just to clarify, the question is about the creation of hellfire – when and how exactly hell came into existence.
Tradition has it that hell was created by God right after the rebellion of Lucifer and his other angels. Lucifer, once the greatest and most beautiful angel, rebelled against God, wanting to be like God. He was defeated by Saint Michael the Archangel, and forever banished in his own kingdom of fire – hell.

But more than a physical place, hell is a “state of being” – the state of full denial of God. Those who go to hell are those who choose to deny God – just like Lucifer did when he rebelled against God.
